US Kids Consuming Too Much Sugar

Not true. They are consuming too many Calories.

With Tobacco, Alcohol and Salt locked in the crosshairs, the new public enemy number one seems to be sugar. A new report from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) shows 16% of total daily caloric intake of children and adolescents coming from added sugar in foods and drinks. The recommended amount is no more than 15%, but includes fat, as well as sugar.

Sugar cannot make anyone overfat.

Only too many Calories in can.

The source is immaterial.
